To the honorable Jake and those other voices we hear. Several years ago my friend group and I started to play dnd for most of our first-time. The DM was the only one to have some experience before. There is 5 us that our DM so patiently started a campaign for. Fast forward into the first boss fight our campaign has ran into. It is a necromancer that has been downing most of the party. I played a half-orc barbarian that was chaotic neutral and our DM let me get a sword and armor that was way OP for the noob i was. Anyways, we were finally able to get the necromancer down to just 2 hp when he surrendered and begged us not to kill him. My companions took this opportunity to try and get some information out of him. I wanted to end him. I agreed to give them an opportunity to get some information. The party is asking all sorts of questions and the DM makes them roll for each question to see what the response given. After each of the 2 trying to ask questions rolled at least 10 times each.... I shout out Feng (my characters name) jumps on top of the sarcophagus, chooses rage, attacks with viscous intent. Our DM now giggling at this tactic demands an attack roll. I crit and behead the necromancer while our DM is laughing and the other party members are shouting for me not to kill him due to the information he had that we needed. I ask, who is more to blame in this situation. The party members that continued to roll terribly trying to get information, getting nowhere? Or am i at fault for being a murder hobo? I patiently await your judgment. P.S. I did keep his head as a souvenir

2025-07-31 09:58:03 +0000 UTCwho all were old friends with the DM , trying dnd - whereas I was a friend of the DM with several years of dnd play experience. One of the party were making some pretty bold choices that even just with my characters knowledge seemed bad. I used my reactions to shout out suggestions, but it came across as overly assertive and controlling (i admit this). After session this was brought to my attention, at which i immediately apologized and decided in that moment to take a step back and "yes and". I became a cheerleader. This still fit my character as I was a drunken master monk who found that he could be better friends by taking a backseat and being supportive. The result... I became the dog of the party. I wasn't allowed into any room/ extra dimensional space to sleep. Was always told to take watch, and anything I found "went to the party". I ask you. Is this justice? Should I have kept taking it on the chin? (I ended up leaving the campaign because I asked to have some real life check ins to make sure it wasn't personal and told that "just because we play dnd doesn't mean we talk in real life" This has bothered me for years even after playing several great campaigns with amazing groups. Sincerely Fastun Longdrink Drunken master... flunk?
